The last word of a black man who was killed by the white police's ruthless suppression "I can't breathe". The wave of anger that began with that word is now spreading across the world beyond the United States. Although the Trump administration mobilized military helicopters and armored vehicles to crack down on them, the size of the protesters is growing. Today (3rd), the 8 o'clock news will take a closer look at the protests that unveiled the shadow of American society such as racism and inequality. First, let's connect Washington, USA, at 7 in the morning, and talk to a correspondent from Washington who watched the protests overnight.

Correspondent Kim Yun-su, now there are police officers armed behind, saying that the most people gathered after the protest began around the White House?

<Reporter>

Yes, even when I guessed, there seemed to be thousands of them.

I've covered the protest site, let's watch the video first.

Time left at 7 pm, 7 hours, Washington DC's curfew.

An invisible demonstration procession is pushed towards the White House.


[Black people's lives are also precious, black people's lives are also valuable.]

Lafayette Park continues to hold protests against the White House every day.

Over two meters of iron fences were enclosed throughout the park to keep protesters out of reach.

However, as more and more people began to gather, the three streets in front of the park were filled.

The news that the tear gas was shot for President Trump's coming to the church fueled the protests.

[Protesters: During a peaceful protest yesterday, I heard that many people were arrested and shot tear gas to open the way for Trump. It wasn't right, and I had no choice but to go to the protests.] After

curfew, the protesters never left.

[We don't move, we don't move.] The

protests continued until late at night, but there were no major conflicts.

Right. There is controversy over the mobilization of troops in this protest, but how many troops have been put into Washington now?

<Reporter>

Currently, there are about 1,300 state defense forces deployed in Washington, but as the protesters grow, they are trying to add about 1,500 more.

However, states such as Virginia and New York that have opposition governors have refused to request defense ministers to send to the National Guard.

That's why the Trump administration is considering the input of federally-directed forces instead of the state's national defense forces.


It has also been announced that 1,600 soldiers are waiting for input at a base near the capital.

However, many state governments have responded that the introduction of federal forces into domestic security requires the prerequisite of a serious riot but is not appropriate. Listen to the story.

[Mayor Michael Bauer/Washington, DC: I don't think American suppression in the United States is part of our military mission. Federal input is not appropriate.] Even the

reserve officers are strongly criticizing that the United States is not a battlefield, and that citizens are not our enemies.

Since the protests are spreading all over the United States, the situation in other states seems to be similar.

<Reporter> The

protests are already on the way, but there are few signs of fading.

In western Oregon, thousands of protesters fell down on the bridge as they tried to press on their necks.


As protesters continue to grow in size, New York has been banned from 8 pm and LA from 6 pm.

Of course, as in Washington, here, most of the curfew has not been kept, but fortunately, the acts of violence, such as looting and arson, have been decreasing.

Floyd's memorial service and funeral will be held until the 9th, and it seems that the next week or so is likely to be a major controversy over the spread of this protest or whether it is calm.
